Bookbinding Workshop - Hardback Notebook

Learn to make your own A6 notebook!



3 hours Class size 4 to 8 guests       £40 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

In this class, you will learn the basics of bookbinding in London. Step away from the digital world and into the timeless craft of traditional bookbinding. In this hands-on, in-person workshop, you’ll learn how to make a beautiful A6 hardback notebook using classic tools, techniques, and materials.
  • Whether you love a good notebook (like me!), or are a creative hobbyist, stationery lover, or just curious about the book arts, this workshop is for you. It's the perfect way to slow down, work with your hands, and create something truly unique.
  • You’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of bookbinding, including stitching signatures, creating a hard cover, and assembling your notebook from start to finish.
You’ll leave with a wonderful hand-bound notebook — crafted entirely by you — along with the skills and confidence to continue bookbinding at home.
This notebook is reusable as the binding can easily be removed, and a new signature inserted at home when you have used all the pages you start with - super sustainable!
What you'll get
  • All tools and materials are provided.
  • Step-by-step instruction in traditional binding techniques.
  • Your own handmade A6 hardback notebook to take home.
  • A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere – no experience necessary!

Some Good Things began as a simple blog—a personal space to document my journey toward living a little more sustainably. My goal was never to completely overhaul my life, but to make small, meaningful changes that felt realistic and achievable. Over time, that idea grew into something bigger.
Now, Some Good Things offers affordable, sustainable craft workshops designed to inspire creativity, encourage getting stuck in, and support mental well-being—all while keeping eco-conscious values at the core.
With a background in event planning (and a fair bit of teaching experience), I aim to create welcoming, accessible spaces where people can try new things, learn useful skills, and feel good about making more thoughtful choices. I believe sustainability doesn’t have to be expensive or overwhelming—it can be joyful, creative, and a little bit fun.
Let’s make some good things together.
